double hit problem ,because of my mpc1000-bk pads or the OS?

Hi! i own a mpc1000-bk
my pads work and i do not have to hit them "with a hammer"
(like described by people who complain on the old bad pads)

mine are pretty sensitive and work ok.... i think..?
(i have never used any other pad device so i can not compare it to other mpc models)

but the problem is that alot of times when i hit a pad it glitches and register 2 quick hits when im actually just hitting it once, **** up the beat and sometimes i have to undo and record 20 times in order to get it right, this is very frustrating.

Is this because lack of mpc skill , the old mpc1000bk pads or my OS version?

i now use free jjos 3.08 because i cant afford the os1+2 right now

. will os1/2 sensitivity settings fix this problem?
or should i buy the EXPENSIVE pad upgrade?


Thank you

That happens to me sometimes when I am hitting the pad with two fingers. The second finger actually strikes a split second after the first finger. Otherwise make sure it is a clean confident hit. If you hesitate right as you are hitting this may aslo cause a double tap.

no when this happends i hit only with one finger and i do hit it the same perfect way that normally do not produce a double tap.
i think that some of my pads are more sensitive to this double tap glitch than others.. sometimes it happends more than other times .. and it seem to happend on most of the pads...

does your finger do the bounce?

try the fix where you put layers of electrical tape in the underside of each pad to make firmer contact with the sensor IF you have the new pads. are you SURE you have the old pads?

no my finger dont bounce"
no im not 100% sure i have the old pads.. i did try to poke one and lift the edge up..

only the one i poke move and i cannot lift the edge up like someone described.. my down cursor button is pretty weak i have to push it hard to work so i need to open up and check soon. im in a studio right now and the mpc is at home..

is there any solution to fix the cursor down button without buying a new one? any way to clean the thingy or anything?

nah prob not.
